Hi guys
During the recent community package addition sprint I noticed someone mentioning rar [1], so I looked into any possible reason why it was never brought into the repositories (not that I personally have any need for it). I found none. Ubuntu appears to have had it in multiverse for some time already, and a quick mail to RARLAB resulted in a reply from Eugene Roshal stating that it's OK to redistribute if no files are modified.
I have never figured out how the trial thing works for this Linux command-line version. It looks like a fully usable program to me that will last for an indefinite period.
Is there any objection to this? The only reason I'd be adding it to extra is that it has 600 votes. Else, it can go to community.
I think that we don't need rar in our repos -- Arch Linux Developer http://www.archlinux.org http://www.archlinux.it
